Personal use is permitted only in non-working time and must be minimal. The policy includes guidance on email etiquette, privacy, incident reporting, and misuse, with strict rules against automatic forwarding, chain letters, and excessive personal use. Violations may lead to disciplinary action. The policy also covers calendar privacy and secure transmission of sensitive data.
